Began his career with Bugle FC (where my parents still live), taking them to their only South Western League title in 1984 aged 15, before moving to the glamour of St Blazey.

Unassuming, friendly - though his Cornish accent has mostly gone - Big Nige was a regular at Quasars in Carlyon Bay, where St Austell youth learnt its dance moves, drinking limits and romance. If you had sand in your bits in the morning, you knew, you'd had a good night..... Nigel Martyn – probably the most famous Cornish footballer.
